After mounting the same unformatted drive above in Windows 7 Ultimate, I could see the disk in Disk Management. However, the drive did not populate on the Windows desktop, nor could it be seen in My computer. Neither Windows or Ubuntu yet provide the very helpful convenience mentioned in this bug.
What is expected in Ubuntu is that the unformatted drive has an icon on the desktop noting it is an unformatted drive and clicking it brings the opportunity to format it or some similar, convenient resolution. This issue does not seem localized to the Tripp Lite but extends to any connected, unformatted drive. ** Summary changed: - SATA HDD connected via Tripp Lite U238-000 not automounted + Unformatted SATA HDD, connected via USB with Tripp Lite U238-000 does not populate Desktop icon when mounted -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/664878 Title: Unformatted SATA HDD, connected via USB with Tripp Lite U238-000 does not populate Desktop icon when mounted -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
